Du sans gluten à base de protéagineux et oléagineux
Quatre entrepreneuses développent, produisent et commercialisent Floorish. Il s’agit de mixes de farine sans gluten à base de coproduits agroalimentaires revalorisés, issus de filières françaises. Les mixes sont à haute valeur nutritionnelle et enrichis grâce – entre autres – à l’utilisation de protéagineux et d’oléagineux. L’objectif est de réinventer le sans gluten en le rendant plus sain, plus gourmand et plus durable, sans compromis ni sur la texture ni sur le goût.
Les mixes pour pâtisseries et pains sont prêts à l’emploi et peuvent remplacer directement la farine de blé dans les recettes traditionnelles, sans ajustement de formulation.
Un jeu de plateau où l’on cultive des oléoprotéagineux
Cinq étudiants de l’école d’ingénieurs de Purpan propose Proté-Win, un jeu de plateau éducatif où chaque joueur incarne un agriculteur chargé de développer son exploitation en cultivant des oléoprotéagineux. Au fil des saisons, les joueurs doivent faire face aux aléas climatiques, aux maladies, aux fluctuations de marché et aux choix stratégiques de leurs voisins.
Entre négociations, alliances, bluffs et décisions économiques, chacun cherche à optimiser ses cultures, valoriser ses productions et progresser en compétences. Ludique et stratégique, le jeu permet de découvrir de manière simple et immersive les réalités de l’agriculture, la diversité des débouchés et le rôle essentiel des protéines végétales dans la filière.
Du pois chiche dans des plats préparés équilibrés
235 Eat vise à réinventer le prêt-à-cuisiner sec avec des préparations cœur de repas équilibrées, gourmandes et saines Les plus : un peu d’eau et hop, 5 minutes au micro-ondes !
Ce projet est porté par une jeune entrepreneuse passionnée d’innovation et avec l’ambition de lutter contre la malbouffe et le « sautage de repas » ; elle travaille dans des startups de l’agrifoodtech depuis huit ans.
La première gamme de ses prêt-à-cuisiner propose des préparations pour moelleux-repas salés ou sucrés, destinées aux jeunes actifs urbains et dont l’ingrédient clef est la farine de pois chiche. Le lancement est prévu en e-commerce à la fin du premier trimestre 2026.

OFB

60 months Oui NationalThe challenges
Herbicide management is at the heart of farmers' concerns. There is a strong need for references in a context where the number of active ingredients is decreasing, resistance is developing and climate change is having an impact on weed dynamics and intervention times.
Following on from the XpeGE 0 project, which tested systems without phytosanitary products, Herbi1&NoPhy is based on less risk-taking for farmers and supply chains: the use of herbicides is a low priority, well after agronomic levers - but not excluded - and the use of other phytosanitary products is circumvented by technical choices.
The evaluation of this new project should make it possible to measure the technical and economic consequences of very drastically reducing the use of phytosanitary products, with a view to adapting systems to climate change, based on the notion of diversity (species, varieties, tillage, sowing periods, etc.).
The objectives
The aim of this experimentation and transfer project is to consolidate, build up and disseminate references on field crop and mixed farming systems, with a marked break in the use of phytosanitary products adapted to the context of climate change. It is based on a strong technical partnership between research, development, teaching and farmers.
The experimental sites (2 platforms and 10 observatories) will test annual cropping systems that represent a major break with the past, using all available agronomic, genetic, mechanical and biocontrol levers, with minimal use of herbicides and the use of other products only when absolutely necessary.
Expected results
The aim of the project is to create benchmarks for low-use phytosanitary practices. Estimating the technico-economic impact, the consequences in terms of equipment investment or working time, and assessing the acceptability of these systems to farmers through controlled observatories are the results expected from the project to help farmers adopt these systems.

GreenDeal Europe
13,500,000€ (of which €1,200,000 funded by the EU)
48 months Oui EuropéenThe challenges
In support of the Green Deal for Europe, the project aims to innovate and engage stakeholders in the agricultural world to support the transition of agriculture and strengthen efforts to mitigate climate change. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050 and increase carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, a strong systemic approach is needed. The challenge is to develop, co-design and scale up systemic and locally relevant solutions to promote climate-neutral and resilient European agriculture.
The project is coordinated by INRAE and brings together 33 partners, including Acta (representing Terres Inovia, Institut de l'élevage and Arvalis) and private companies (Nestlé, Danone and EDF).
The objectives
ClieNFarms is a European project that aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector, starting from the farm scale and crossing it with the sector and territory scales. The aim is to achieve a GHG reduction of at least 50% by 2050, so that the agricultural sector can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality in the region (i.e., not emitting more emissions into the air than can be offset by sequestration via forests, agricultural soils or other means).
The project supports farmers in their efforts to reduce emissions and store more carbon in the soil to offset residual emissions as far as possible.
Expected results
- Setting up stakeholder dynamics in territorial case studies
Innovative systemic solutions for climate change mitigation are tested in some twenty territorial case studies across Europe (including 5 in France, with 2 in field crop systems), and assessed using modeling approaches and multi-criteria evaluations.
These territorial case studies (christened I3S for "innovative systemic solution space") will cover the diversity of production systems (crops, livestock, dairy products, special crops, etc.) and geographical situations (from East to West and North to South Europe, as well as New Zealand).
Each territorial case is then organized around a demonstration farm for more precise measurements, around 10 pilot farms to implement mitigation levers in agricultural situations, and around 100 neighboring farms to raise awareness through information dissemination actions (visits, surveys, documents).
On this basis, a "creative arena" of the territorial case aims to bring together other players in the area's sector in order to accelerate and facilitate farmers' efforts.
- Exchanging knowledge and references on mitigation levers and support tools
- Avenues for scaling up mitigation efforts, for massification on a territorial or sectoral scale, or for facilitating carbon markets.
- Messages to, and exchanges with, other R&D groups or national or European policy bodies on the subject of mitigation.
The role of Terres Inovia
Partner
In the ClieNFarms project, Terres Inovia is represented by Acta. The Institute is coordinating a territorial case study (I3S) in northeastern France for field crops, which includes the territorial massification study. It contributes to inter-country coordination on mitigation levers for the field crop sector, and participates in communication and networking initiatives.

Rich in protein, chickpeas are used exclusively for human consumption. Sown between mid-December and mid-April and harvested between early July and late August, the crop is adapted to the Mediterranean climate and can withstand relatively high water stress. Like all seed legumes, chickpea is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen (if combined with its specific rhizobium) and requires no nitrogen fertilizer.
